Sharing railroad history is a duty…

“Never waste a minute thinking about people you don’t like.”

― Dwight D. Eisenhower

Eisenhower is my inspiration and has little to to with my father Fred Klyver III or my brother Fred Klyver IV, both of whom contributed to the photos herein. However, I do think that they would have agreed with “Ike” in this sentiment.

Therefore, I feel it is important to think of these two people I liked and also you, the follower that has an interest in the subjects shared here – 99.99% are trains.

These sides have been stored in their Kodak little yellow boxes since they were returned from developing and they serve no one in that capacity.

I hope that you enjoy these slides and can help identify the location of these photos – Dad never marked the slide location and FRED IV did so sparingly.

My goal is to “locate” all the images, mark them and then DONATE them to the appropriate Historical society. A friend once said “These slides are history, and they should be shared” and I have to agree.

P.S. This WordPress blog is an intended to share the photos beyond Facebook, where I have posted for many years. For some cool photos check there, I’ll be going onward here and sharing this there,,,, Does that make sense?

Thanks for reading and stay tuned & tell a friend about this site to spread the images,

I am speculating; maybe remembering that this was around Thanksgiving in about 1980. My grandmother ( Fred’s mom ) would ride the train from Fresno to Martinez on occasion. The cold, foggy November air is prevalent here.
